– about 100.000 photos
– currently organized into about 1000 folders
– in total about 300 GB.

What I want:

– the possibility to tag pictures
– something better than Picasa
– something that professionals use

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance :)

Hi, unfortunately I still haven't found the time to actually go through all the wonderful links I have received here, so that's why I haven't replied anything yet. I am so thankful for the help I got here, so I've been planning to *really* take the time and to go through all the links one by one to respect the effort of the kind people here :) The result: I still haven't found the time :( But I will definitely let you all know once I have advanced my huge project of organizing my photo collection! Stay tuned :) And in case you still have any other ideas, keep them coming! P.S. I love MUO and I wish I'd have more time to use this wonderful resource... <3

Hi
The best one is the one you feel more comfoartable with so you have to try. Shareware are expensive and offers best features and client support.

Given the size of your collection, you may want to spend some money and get a package such as ThumbsPlus (from http://www.cerious.com), ACDSee Pro etc. Whatever you do, spend some time evaluating the package before you commit yourself to it. If you end up unhappy with it, you could find yourself re-entering an awful lot of data!

Adobe products provide what you are looking for...even though it can be pricey. Here is a link:

From what you are saying, your pictures are already organized in folders and as long as they have a descriptive tag there should not be a problem. With the amount of pictures you have you might have to use batch to organized them all...
